From 2468c7234b366eeb799ee0648cb58f9cba394a54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daisuke Nishimura Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:22:03 -0800 Subject: cgroup: introduce cancel_attach() Add cancel_attach() operation to struct cgroup_subsys. cancel_attach() can be used when can_attach() operation prepares something for the subsys, but we should rollback what can_attach() operation has prepared if attach task fails after we've succeeded in can_attach().
